This was the first trip to the beach where I was content to watch the sunrise from the balcony. Todd had gotten up and went down to the beach to take a few dozen photos and I snapped a few of him from my place on the balcony. When he finally turned to walk back, … Continue reading Return to OCMD – Last Day

Return to OCMD – Ain’t Nobody Got Time For That
Monday morning, day 3. Lying in bed, while Todd went for a walk, reading a book and texting mom whose only concern seemed to be that I “DID NOT get the hippies in trouble.” I mean, really. Ain’t nobody got time for that. You know what else ain’t nobody got time for? Three – count … Continue reading Return to OCMD – Ain’t Nobody Got Time For That
Return to OCMD
898 days after the beginning of the Sars-CoV-2 worldwide pandemic, aka COVID-19, Todd and I returned to Ocean City for a LONG overdue vacation. Disclaimer: the five days we were there were hotter than Satan’s ass crack, and you will be hearing a lot more complaints about this in the days to come. At the … Continue reading Return to OCMD
Shuggie Shenanigans
Feeling great, everything is great. It’s not every day that Todd’s dog wakes me up at 5:20 a.m. No. Sometimes it’s 5:30. Sometimes it’s 5:52. But today, today is special and TODD’S dog wanted to make sure I didn’t miss one glorious moment of the shenanigans she served up hot, fresh, and dripping wet. Todd … Continue reading Shuggie Shenanigans
What I Did On My Spring Vacation
Oh, oh… oh my God….ooooooh! Oh man, oh wow, oh my God…. Just hold still, I’m almost done. Two men, in my kitchen. One is on his knees, head bent to the floor, hand over the sink – oh my God, I’m about to pass out – the other, holding this hand over the sink … Continue reading What I Did On My Spring Vacation
Amazing Moments, With Dad
I discovered Rob Brezsney and his astrological wisdom in Philadelphia’s City Paper back in the 90s and eventually he would come to the internet with his Real Astrology, now aptly renamed Free Will Astrology. My Free Will horoscope for the week (cause that’s how he rolls) is more introspective – some meditations for forgiveness and … Continue reading Amazing Moments, With Dad
I Bought a Giraffe
Centering: It’s been 337 days since everything shut down, panic-buying cleared grocery shelves, schools went virtual, and our lives got flipped, turned upside down. I bought a giraffe for $5. But wait, you should know there’s some background on this. I discovered a Facebook page about secondhand finds and it’s spectacular and inspiring. There’s a … Continue reading I Bought a Giraffe
My Life is Shit 2.0
It’s been 8 days since we welcomed two new additions to our home. We adopted two standard Poodles, given to us by a longtime friend of Todd’s who is a breeder. Pi was part of her line, and therefore, by extension, so is Sabra. We had been discussing this since last fall. There were pros … Continue reading My Life is Shit 2.0
Where We’ve Been
It’s been a busy month or so. September – a friend’s 50th birthday celebration, a living history event with Frida Kahlo, two wine festivals we planned but bagged out on, and dinner with Todd’s parents. We, on behalf of the college, attended a fundraiser for families of children who passed suddenly. The mother of a … Continue reading Where We’ve Been
The Girls Take Cape May, 2019
Mom, Veruca, and I took our annual girls’ trip to the shore. Mom picked V up at her dad’s and drove here to pick me up (not exactly on the way but Moses was staying with Todd). I was the last one ready and mom was literally threatening to get in the car with V … Continue reading The Girls Take Cape May, 2019
